Product Details
Pretty enough to be the centerpiece of your patio flowerpot, 'Everleaf Emerald Towers' is true to its name: prolific in leaf growth; deep, emerald, glossy green leaves; and forms an herbal tower. This cultivar holds off flower production up to 12 weeks longer than other types of basil, so you don't have to worry about pinching flowers off to keep your basil producing tender leaves.
